Coby Kryos
ntRooting the Coby Kryos Android-based tablet unleashes the full potential of the device. It’s actually pretty impressive, especially for under $150. It has quality construction, reasonable specifications and features, and even without rooting, the AppsLib library would probably satisfy most tablet consumers. See the original post: “You can do more for less with the Coby Kryos.”
